This is driving me crazy. The playhead constantly sticks to my cursor at random occasions. Does anyone have the same problem, and hopefully a solution?

For the vast majority of computers out there, it's wiser as a practical thing to export Ae comps as video files from Ae when the comp is 'right'. Use that to replace the comp on the sequence, and many problems become ... not a problem.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

To clarify its no relation to AE comps or anything specific… It happens with many projects, but when it happens and what causes it is a mystery? Every once in awhile, the playhead suddenly becomes stuck to the cursor - meaning that everywhere I move my cursor, the playhead zips around the screen following it, only stopping doing so after I repeatedly click outside of the timeline, its then normal again until the next occurrence.

I'm having the same issue constantly while scrubbing footage. The playhead keeps sticking to the cursor until I click it again. Has anyone found a solution to this?
